The main switch of the electrical panel that protects against total overload of the entire house.
What is Main Circuit Breaker (IGA)?
The IGA is the largest switch on the electrical panel — usually alone or labeled. It protects against the combined overload of the entire home. If the simultaneous power consumed exceeds the contracted power with the utility company, the IGA trips and all power goes out.
When you encounter it in an emergency & typical cost
If it trips often, you have two options: consume mindfully or increase the contracted power (€9-13 per kW, online).
